Founded 7 generations and nearly 200 years ago, Faiveley is still truly a domaine, with over 80% of their wines coming from family-owned vineyards. Now under the control of Erwan Faiveley, their holdings have expanded to 300 acres of prime Burgundian real estate, including the 15 acre clay and limestone Mercurey monopole, Myglands, a corruption of "My land", the name given to the the area by an English dignitary.
